"Small is best in other fields as well. Green Fuel Cells (GFC), a Partnership spin-off, is getting ready to demonstrate its first prototype, a fuel cell for mobile electronics devices such as PC notebooks and advanced wireless devices. In recent years, electronic devices have become smaller and more powerful. While semiconductor chips have shrunk in size, their computing power has increased by about 3000 percent over the last 30 years. In comparison, battery-powered energy densities have increased a mere 70%. 

That may now change with the work of TAU Chemistry Professor Emanuel Peled, a world renowned authority in fuel cells and energy storage devices, who has developed technology that enables the creation of what is, to date, the smallest, longest operating fuel cell for mobile electronic devices. It will also be the cheapest. It operates on non-diluted fuel and uses a membrane, the heart of the fuel cell, priced 100 times lower than existing membranes. The company plans a second equity investment in the coming months."
